One of them is Xu Wenyi, who speaks English and Japanese. She works
at East Xujing Station on Line 2 and can be found at Exits 4, 5 or 6.Xu
said both Chinese and foreigners make inquiries about directions when
arriving at the station.
“Many foreigners are not sure if they can get help from us. When I
spot someone looking hesitant, I’ll come up to help,” she said.
Xu, who has been working as a police officer for nine years,
normally works at the People’s Square Metro Station. Like many of her
colleagues, she was assigned to work at East Xujing only for the expo,
which is visited by hundreds of thousands of people.
With her knowledge of Japanese, she also provides translation
support when Japanese speakers call police at the emergency number 110.
Xu is no stranger to big crowds at Metro stations. She said that
People’s Square Station during the Chinese National Day holiday can be
even more crowded.
Xu has two colleagues who speak foreign languages at East Xujing
Station, while three other multilingual officers can be found at
Zhuguang Road Station on Line 17 and the station of Hongqiao Railway
Station on Lines 2, 10 and 17.
About 380 police officers and their assistants are working at the
Metro stations of East Xujing, Zhuguang Road and Hongqiao Railway
Station during the expo. The three stations typically have less than 20
police officers and assistants.
